2017/18 FA Cup Quarter Finals Draw On Saturday

The quarter final stage draw for the 2017/18 FA Cup will take place on Saturday evening.

With the fifth round stage kicking off on Friday evening with Leicester City facing Sheffield United and Chelsea entertaining Hull City, the bulk of ties take place on Saturday, with a match apiece on Sunday and Monday.
